I would love to be able to write new semantics for configs or at least propose them and I will get working on them right away. As for backwards compatibility you could add a new/old flag that would determine the config params type that would default to old if not specified.
Logger::configure($logConfig); would use the old Logger::configure($logConfig,false); would use the old Logger::configure($logConfig,true); would use the new The essence of how I would suggest improving this would be able to define a logger with a straight list of params, no need to have hierarchical params for something as simple as logging. I was not the only one who had trouble understand how to configure this many other people that work for me did as well. We got it working but through lots of sweats. -----Original Message----- From: Christian Grobmeier [mailto:grobme...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, May 16, 2012 1:57 PM To: Log4PHP User Subject: Re: Convert to array from XML Hello Michael, On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 7:46 PM, Michael Sole <ms...@gold-mobile.com> wrote: > Thanks!!!!! > > Not sure why this isn’t better documented.

You are more than welcome to help us making log4php better. We are a small team and appreciate any ideas, help, code patches, docs etc we can get. As for backwards compatibility I guess we need to stick with what we have now, but nothing prevents us to create another configurator which might be enabled *somehow* at request.
